This was a great tour but my only complaint is we were told that we would be picked up at 7:30-7:45 at our hotel in Jerusalem. We were concerned at 8:00 that maybe the trip was cancelled because we had not been picked up. We tried calling and using the chat feature to contact the company. No one answered the phone and we did not get a reply from the chat. We waited till 8:30 and finally the van showed up. The Driver then drove us to Bethlehem where we were met by George our guide. George is excellent and spoke perfect English. The Driver did not speak English so I was a little concerned. George took us on a short walk to see the wall that divides Palestine & Israel and then we took the van to a gift shop. We then drive to Manger square and visited the Greek Orthodox Church which has access to the Grotto where Jesus was born. We could not go into the grotto due to Sunday Services going on. George gave us all the history on the church and the grotto. We then drove to where Jesus was baptized by John the baptizer. We took some photos and watched a few folks be baptized. We then drove to a restaurant in Jericho. Our lunch was an additional cost but it was really good and a fair value. We then headed to St George Monastery which is on the mount of Temptation. We took the Gondola up and climbed the 150 steps up. It’s a very cool Church and setting. We saw so remnants from the Jericho Wall that dates back to Joshua’s time in the Bible. We really enjoyed our day and our other tour mates were super fun to spend the day with as well. We had one single lady and another couple that toured with us. The van was very comfortable and the best part was George’s knowledge and sharing of his country and Biblical facts with us. He’s a very nice young man who was fun and informative of all the sites we visited. It was a great day of learning. I highly recommend this tour. Just know the traffic can control them being late for your pick up. I’m glad we waited since George was such an amazing guide and the sites were very interesting.

The route was relatively short and with breaks at the main objectives so that the trip as a whole was very pleasant. Our guide Mani was very helpful. The sights were very interesting and we received the essential information about them. I particularly liked the stop at the Jordan River because last year I was in the same place but on the Jordanian bank. The monastery of Mount of Temptations near Jericho reminded me the Montserrat Monastery in Spain. The Judea desert was spectacular. During the trip I met interesting people. The tour was well organized and met my expectations. Good value for money.

Very long day but worth the 14 hrs. Guide and driver excellent and managed to keep us on track to visit all the itinerary. My favourite part was Jordan River watching the baptisms this was very special as my baptism was in a swimming pool, even so it was also confirmed of my faith in Jesus.

The guide was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and gave our group of 12 a full day of fun and unforgettable experiences. Tourist Israel is awesome and my agent Ludo is awesome. Thank you everyone.

Tourist Israel is the best tour guides. It was all fantastic from start to finish. The guides tell us about the local history, they are very well trained and very friendly. Gratitude is what I have to say. Note 100000

The tour is not well planned , you have first 30 minutes in a souvenir shop, then you go to the church of Nativity and you are most probably not allowed to go to the grotto where Jesus was born , better take a taxi or bus from Jerusalem at Damascus gate if you really want to see the birth place of Jesus. After that you have 1 hour lunch and then you quickly go through Jericho. If we knew we would take only the shuttle not this tour. The Jordan river place was also not as nice as the one with the Galilee tour. The tour guide Badran seems not very interested in the tour that he was leading in my opinion he only wanted to get to the lunch place. Some people did not understand when we were heading to the Jericho , i noticed missing people, the guide was not actually trying to follow who is in his group.

Tour was very good and our guide and driver were excellent. The one disappointment was that because of a special ceremony at the church of the Nativity our group was not permitted into the area where the birth of Jesus took place. As I said extremely disappointing

Well organised tour. Great information at each of the sites with a tour guide who was personable, willing to answer individual questions and help you get the best out of the stops. Disappointing not to be able to see the grotto of Jesus's birth and it would be a wonderful addition to be able to visit the cave of Jerome. One of the great things about the tour was the absence of pressure to buy from the shops at the sites. Really pleased I booked it even though I have done similar a few years ago. Based on my own experience, I'd recommend this day trip
